Details for Students When you take a WABC Accredited® program, you’re getting the most credible, reliable and relevant business coach training there is. That’s because WABC Accredited is the first international designation specifically for business coach training providers. WABC Accredited programs meet the rigorous international standards set by the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches.
Purpose The WABC Accredited designation aims to:
- Set international standards for business coach training providers, and clearly identify these standards for buyers of business coach training;
- Provide an independent, robust, transparent assessment process that recognizes excellence in training;
- Promote high-caliber professional development for the benefit of business coaches; and
- Contribute to the definition, development and self-regulation of the business coaching profession.
Benefits Why choose a WABC Accredited training program? There are four reasons why these programs are in a class of their own.
1. Training Tailored to Business Coaches The WABC Accredited designation is the first international designation developed exclusively for business coach training programs. It tells your clients and peers that you’ve gone beyond general coach training to build the specialized competencies and skills that business coaching requires.
2. Rigorously Screened Training WABC Accredited programs are evaluated by independent, professional assessors who apply the same high standards to all programs, regardless of size, location or reputation. Successful programs are also reviewed and re-accredited regularly. With a WABC Accredited program, you’re assured of getting the highest quality professional development in the industry.
3. Post-Graduate Training WABC Accredited is the only international designation to recognize providers of business coach training at the post-graduate level. Whether you choose a program at the Practitioner Level or the Master Level, you’ll get the most advanced business coach training available.
4. Publicly Recognized Training Standards-based designations like WABC Accredited help establish business coaching as a profession worthy of public respect and trust. With a WABC Accredited program on your résumé, you’ll not only boost the prestige and professionalism of your practice, you’ll advance the credibility of the industry.
Levels At both levels of accreditation, WABC Accredited training providers have been thoroughly evaluated by independent, professional assessors.
WABC Accredited (Practitioner Level) This level is for training providers whose programs focus on practitioner coaches: coaches who either practice in one organization or provide defined services to a narrow clientele. Practitioner Level is the first level of WABC accreditation and is roughly equivalent to a post-graduate certificate in business coaching.
WABC Accredited (Master Level) This level is for training providers whose programs focus on master coaches: coaches who provide broad services at all levels to a range of organizations. Master Level is the advanced level of WABC accreditation and is roughly equivalent to a master’s degree in business coaching.
